HUMAN TRAFFICKING SLAVERY EXIST

URGC is not a policing body, but we are a monitoring, assessment and solution proposal organisation that is fully aware of the human trafficking of displaced people which we openly express and offer solutions for the protection of such vulnerable displaced children, adolescents and adults.

SEX SLAVERY & LABOUR SLAVERY EXIST

DENIAL ONLY INCREASES THE SLAVE TRADE

The biggest danger in human trafficking which gives a indirect green light to human traffickers/human slave dealers is the ignorance and denial of many governments that slavery exists

There are 200 Million Displaced People in the world today. Such people are refugees due to war, natural disasters, environmental & climate changes which has created a socio-economic crisis, children who have been abandoned, these are mostly vulnerable people that many will naturally resort to desperate acts.

Human trafficking has never stopped throughout history and continues today illegally but when it is not accepted as an existing issue and instead denied in its international vastness and its new found markets via refugees, then the illegal acts of human trafficking and slavery cannot be tackled legally because in the eyes of many Governments it does not exists which gives slave traders an open road to trade children, adolescents and adult people as commodities, therefore, we must ask ourselves which is worse, the slave trader or the government who denies its existence and allows the freedom to slave traders to continue trading human beings?

Refugees are focused on by human traffickers as well as terrorist organisations which many refugees who have lost all hope of resettling back home and all hope of life do join terrorist organisations on the promise of a better life.

The lack and great delay for governments and UNHCR to physical apply resettlement programs have left many refugees with no choice but to migrate further into other countries and others who have lost all hope seek any alternative to increase their life chances and the life chances of their families. This becomes a harvesting ground for people traffickers, terrorists and other criminals who take great advantage on recruiting such desperate people who feel they have nothing more to loose or hope for.

Lack of resettlement programs being physically implemented leads to the increase of crime and terrorism as well as the ongoing increased suffering of refugees/displaced people.

It is not unusual for a refugee who has lost all and sees his family continually suffer and seeing no action taken by governments or UN for resettlement programs being actually physically applied, then that naturally leads to total loss of faith and hope in resettling back in their home land, and when offered by terrorist recruiters the promise of a home, work, his children to go to school, health services, food, community, citizenship back in his own homeland and be made to believe his actions are willed and blessed by God, but to have all this, he must fight for it, then recruits are gained by terrorists.

It is not unusual for a refugee to reach desperation point to seek alternative incomes so as to help them and their families increase their life chances which do lead to drug trafficking and dealing, prostitution, theft, forcibly taking of women and children to be sold as sex slave, forced child marriages, paying criminals to help them migrate further afield as well as many other crimes criminals focus upon desperation and there is no shortage of that within refugee environments.

The above does not apply to all refugees, but they are realistic factual happenings which much of which go unnoticed or unreported, most could be avoided if resettlement programs were prioritized, not only in plans so that it can be claimed they are being focused on, but in actual physical application.

EXAMPLE OF SYRIAN REFUGEE CRISIS

﻿As of October 2014, the United Nations (UN) estimated that more than eleven million people inside Syria were in need of humanitarian assistance, including 5.1 million children of which there are over 200,000 Syrian orphans. A further 1.55 million children require assistance across the sub-region. Approximately 6.4 million people have been displaced inside Syria, with more than a third of all Syrian children no longer living in their own homes and communities. Conservative figures from the UN meanwhile estimate that over 191,000 people have lost their lives in the conflict leaving an estimated orphaned child population of over 200,000. With at least 10,000 children killed in Syria since 2011, child casualty rates are the highest recorded in any recent conflict in the region. The UN announced in August 2014 that over 25,000 female children, adolescence and woman have been kidnapped and used as well as sold as sex slaves. It is also estimated during 2014 that over 100,000 female children have been sold as child brides or as sex slaves.

The vulnerable refugee children of Syria are at great risk of being sold of by their own parents for a cash/dowry or other commodities where 9-16 year old children are forced into child marriages or traded

Other forms of human trafficking among Syrian Refugees includes -

Female children forced into child marriages with men often 2-5 times their age so as to avoid the female child being raped

Female children that have been raped or sexually abused are forced into prostitution

Female children who refuse to enter into child marriages or prostitution are physically abused and some vanish never to be seen or heard of again

Human traffickers focus on displaced people simply because to them it is their slave supermarket.

Human traffickers will focus of refugees and offer anything from $50-$200.00 USD for a child bride and it is not unusual for them to obtain 1-10 child brides same day and drive them away

Human traffickers who have purchased child brides will most often sell them to the highest bidder for sex as Virgins which their child virginity can fetch from $1000 - $10,000 USD, often paid by a Saudi, Qatar or Jordanian buyer which the sex slave market is dominantly funded by. The child will continue to be sexually abused often continuously raped till she has no further use or has become what is deemed by the trafficker as 'damaged goods', when this happens the child is either dropped back to the parent or guardian or sometimes these children are never heard of again

Once a child that has been dropped back to the parents she will often be in bad physical health due to her physical abuse and if not taken back by their parents they are either left to fend for themselves or they are taken in by others who will often apply same sexual abuse or force the child into prostitution for personal gain

Male children are also purchased by slave traffickers offering parents promises of their male child will be placed into a vocation and schooling and be raised well, but instead, the male child will find himself being also used and abused as a sex slave by the same sex slave markets

Male children are also purchased to be used as drug runners or drug traffickers or as look-outs for drug dealers, often forced upon drug use so that the child becomes reliant upon his owner

Other male children are forced in to child labour and despite the UN providing school facilities for refugee children, there are as many that do attend as there are those that do not due to being forced into child labour

Terrorist recruiting such people who have lost all hope of resettling back in their homeland, with promises of a home in their own country.

This example relates ONLY to the Syrian Child Refugees

We cannot police slave traffickers and it is almost impossible for the UN to do so 24/7 and realistically the UN resources are better spent towards applying desperately needed support systems to refugees than policing slave traffickers. What the URGC can do is report on the realities of refugee crisis and offer sustainable solutions that protect vulnerable refugee children and women and equally protect the UN agency workers who offer their commendable humanitarian and voluntary support.

The URGC assessment and approval of economic, sustainable solutions that provide green solutions and development, accommodation, 24hrs a day 7 days a week monitoring, security and protection, primary and secondary schooling to the standards and criteria of Ministry of Education, health services, child psychology/counselling services, three nutritional cooked meals per day, cleaning facilities, clean water, sanitation, heating and cooling environment, places of worship, sports facilities, sporting stadium, arts/drama/theater facilities, social and play areas, vocational training for children reaching adulthood, enclosed secured CCTV monitored gated complex which has been awarded 7 star award by URGC, is the UNNA HIOS Facility, which is the only realistic and sustainable child protection, development facility for vulnerable refugee children.
